About Claudia

Claudia Leyton-De la Torre is a licensed professional counselor who brings a warm, straightforward style to therapy. She aims to create a space where people can be honest and feel understood while they talk about anxiety, depression, relationship worries, and life changes.

She focuses on helping people build self-esteem and clearer communication. Sessions often center on practical skills for coping with stress and the emotional ups and downs of major life transitions. Claudia also helps clients working through grief, intimacy-related concerns, career questions, and issues connected to gender and sexual identity.

Her approach mixes methods that help people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward it. She uses techniques that address unhelpful thoughts and teach emotional regulation skills. Conversations are intended to be direct and collaborative, not clinical or distant.

Claudia works in English and Spanish to better connect with diverse backgrounds. She practices in Texas and brings six years of counseling experience to her work. Her credential is LPC, which stands for Licensed Professional Counselor.

People who choose her often want a therapist who listens, gives clear tools, and helps them make real changes in day-to-day life. If someone is dealing with relationship uncertainty, stress, or questions about identity, Claudia focuses on practical next steps and steady support.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online work

Claudia uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in ways that fit online conversations. ACT helps people clarify their values and take small actions that matter to them, which can be practiced between sessions. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to change how someone feels and acts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Claudia will talk through goals, daily routines, and preferences to decide which methods match each person's needs. That process is collaborative and can change over time as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allowing shorter check-ins, easier scheduling around work or school, and the chance to practice new skills where problems actually occur. Licensed professionals can tailor pacing and exercises so tools are useful between meetings, helping people carry change into everyday moments.
